Sorry OP but I must object to the image you've used. You are cleary trying to represent the Battle of Ain Jalut. While the warrior on the right is an accurate depiction of a Mongol warrior, the left warrior looks like an Arab or Black person while the Mamluks who fought in the Battle of Ain Jalut were clearly Turkic.
Battle of Vienna (1683)
>Muh Winged Hussars
>Muh Christianity
Cannae or Alesia
>>955378
Not saying he's faultless. It's just a battle I enjoy. Shows he wasn't just a defensive general and could attack.
Also one of the first battles I read about that got me genuinely interested in tactics and strategy.
>no Inchon
Full on pleb guys.
Thermopylae when antiochus got blown the fuck out
Sekigahara

He may not have been the best tactician but God damn saigo takamori was based, I'd fight at his side any day
>>946506
Why Ain Jalut? I thought it was fairly typical bogged down desert warfare?
Well, mine are:
Battle of Rossbach (pic) and Battle of Huan'erzui (Badger Mouth)

>he doesn't know the difference between a operation and a battle
>>955891
>the defender usually loses at Thermopylae
doesn't seem that great of a spot
>>955553
You think even the whitest turkic person wouldn't get tan from training all their life in the Egyptian sun?
Also, you know OP didn't draw that, right? It's probably from an Osprey book, so the artist was just taking liberties with shading/coloring, not pulling some SJW historical revisionism shit like you're afraid of
Battle of Carrhae and the Battle of Pharsalus, two battles, at least in my opinion which were key in the downfall of the Roman Republic, Carrhae shattering the First Triumvirate and paving the way for Caesar to become Dictator for life.

Do you even know how fucked up the Mongols were?
They make ISIS look like a Christian mission.
Not my favourite, I don't have favourite battles, but two cool battles that come to mind are:
>Battle of Edessa
Sassanids capture Roman emperor Valerian and kill him, 70k Roman soldiers annihilated.
>Battle of Manzikert
Seljuks capture Byzantine emperor Romanos IV and Alp Arslan treats him well (except for moment in pic related), later frees him.
